No More Line Boring
The Expander System, from Expander Americas, Inc. solves the problem of
pivot wear in machinery and equipment. During use, wear accelerates and
lug holes become oval. The Expander System’s sleeves expand and lock
into the worn pivot lugs. When the fasteners are tightened, the pressure
washers press the slotted sleeves down over the tapered ends of the pin
axle and lock the system in the pivot lug for a permanent repair.
